Agreed.


I think it's time the world had a mass orgy of understanding between the sexes. Not NECESSARILY a literal orgy. Not necessarily..

The United States is about to engage in the very same.

Except this 'mass orgy' is one of Consumerism.



Black Friday...

Anyone that partakes in this corporate created shopping day is not American, because they don't care about freedom, they'd trade their freedom for a sale! And they're not human either!

Did you know that The Bible doesn't give the birth date of Jesus anywhere? The Christ lived under Mosaic law and the ancient Jews were not allowed to place importance over
any day except that written in the law.
(we are no longer under Mosaic LAW. We are under the law of Christ)

Xmas is a fraud. And guess who made it up?

What about those on a salary? Do you really believe that everybody can work as many hours as they want?

What is an American? Is it one nationality in particular? What about those shopping that aren't Americans?

Why does it bother you at all it's really NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS now is it?

Re: I'm embarrassed to be an american today
Black Friday is merely the retailers' idea of kicking off Christmas shopping with loss-leaders to bring in customers to hit hard and fast. Nothing more. Why people buy into the hype in order to save a few bucks on a tv or IPad is beyond me. It's a fool's errand. Stay home and load the CD player with Christmas music, drink spiced (or spiked) cider, sort through your Christmas decorations, and make pot pies out of leftover turkey. It makes for a much more enjoyable day.

Blame the retailers for creating this anything goes frenzy.

They advertise deals on much coveted items, stock a few hundred, encourage people to start lining up at their doors a day or two in advance, and hype it all.

Blame also consumers who join in. Certainly everyone loves a good deal but it has really gotten out of hand.

And now the latest offense of opening on Thanksgiving, denying their employees their family time and encouraging shoppers to deny theirs.

The stores would go to such extremes if there were not so many willing and stupid shoppers who eagerly participate in the frenzy.
